PREFACE 



preface 

If I help you fix a day 
So you fail not, nor estray, 
If I bring you to a mood 
Working ever for the good. 

Fulfilled my end ! 
On your desk or boudoir-table. 
Then, in order serviceable 
At your elbow let me lie, 
For the new-come century 

A ready friend !

ia Cofeen 

Gray are the clouds that gather 

When the winter day is done. 
Like ghostly monks assembling 
For the funeral of the sun ; 
And the heart is chill within me 

At thought of a life-course run — 

Gray is gloom and gloom is gray^ 
Frozen fears for dying day 

The very skies are weeping I 

But dawns the morrow, golden. 

With sun on snow-fields new 
Limning the long tree-shadows 

In the heavens' own radiant blue. 
And with hope, as the sun, new risen. 
My heart hails token true — 

Light is life and life is light ; 
Day, whose shadows e'en are bright. 
My soul is in thy keeping !

anil t\)t Winter Bap Batonetf) Ckar 

Sparkle on the snow-fields, sparkle on the trees. 
Sparkle on every twiglet that crisps in the breeze, 

— Sparkle here, sparkle there. 
Sparkle in the very air. 
And the winter day dawneth clear. 

Sparkle in the quick glance, sparkle in the smile. 

Sparkle in the laughter, innocent of guile, 

— Sparkle here, sparkle there, 
Sparkle though all unaware. 

And the merry child maketh cheer. 

All the world a-sparkle in the shining day. 

And children are we all again: life is play, 

— Sparkle here, sparkle there. 
Sparkle in the very air. 

And the winter day dawneth clear.

THE STRUGGLE FOR THE MASTERY 



As when beside some sleeping doe 

Two stags in furious combat go 

With clashing horns and bated breath 

To do for victory or death : 

So by the couch of slumbering earth 

To battle royal now go forth 

Fierce summer's sun and winter's wind. 

Each in the panoply of his kind. 

And when, the long-drawn struggle o'er. 

The sun's bright banner floats before. 

Under the conqueror's lusty wiles 

The sleeping maiden wakes with smiles.

Out into space my thoughts are going. 

Going far away 
Where through the clouds the winds are blowing. 

Blowing all the day. 
Wind, through the white clouds blowing, blowings 

Sing, and thy secret tell ! 
Cloud, down the far blue going, going. 
Ope, let us know thy spell ! 
Is it a chorus 
Blithely sonorous. 
Where frolic o'er us 
Spirits on high r 
Or is it serious 
Summons mysterious, 
Where rides th' imperious 
Erl-king by ? 
— Wind, through the white clouds blowing, blowing, 
Sing, and thy secret tell ! 



Long through the night while stars are waning. 

Waning, I list alone 
Where through the trees with sad complaining. 

Plaining, the night-winds moan. 
Wind, through the tree-tops plaining, plaining. 

Soft, and confess thee here ! 
Tree, while the stars are waning, waning. 
Bend, bring the mystery near ! 
Is it the only 
Cry of a lonely 
Spirit, that pronely 

Sobbeth in dole — 
E'en the wild eerie 
Low miserere 
Wrung from a weary 
Doomed soul ? 
— Wind, through the tree-tops plaining, plaining. 
Soft, and confess thee here ! 



But, to my soul athirst for knowing. 

Ever, ah, wellaway. 
By cloud and tree the winds a-blowing 

Answer only nay ! 
Wind, through the white clouds blowing, blowing, 

Sing, then, song untold ! 
Cloud, down the far blue going, going. 
Close, and thy secret hold ! 
So the eternal 
Power supernal 
Guardeth the journal 

Nature may show : 
E'en unto sages 
Conning the ages 
Sealed are the pages 

Most they would know. 
— Wind, through the white clouds blowing, blowing. 
Sing, then, song untold !

I have my little pets, new-born. 

And day by day T visit them 
Snug in the fenced enclosure, where 

Their careful keepers closet them. 

I watch them peep, and more and more 

Show signs of life's reality. 
O winds, be kind and blow not cold. 

For tender their vitality ! 

They feed and sleep, and sleep and feed ; 

They grow apace and steadily ; 
Their little frames are gathering strength, 

They stand up now quite readily. 

And so the time — the sunny time — 

I realize is nearly here. 
When I shall wake, some morn, to learn 

The news Fve longed for dearly here — 

When I shall wake, that is, at call 

Of zephyr's whisper, uttering, — 

" Come forth, come forth, all o'er the park 
** Full-blown the leaves are fluttering ! "

alone, Mut Honelp ^eber 

A cypress lone on an islet 

Lone dotting the glassy mere, 
A solitary cygnet 

Rippling the waters near ; 
O'erhead, a gull long-flapping. 

Sole spot against the sky. 
And musing by the lakeside 

The hermit wanderer, I. 

tree and bird and dreamer. 

Though mute to each are we. 
In the fellowship of nature 

We are kin by life's decree — 
Kin as the words of a sermon, 

Each in his proper place 
By the light of the other's meaning 

To make for a common grace ! 

Then, cygnet, cypress, sea-gull. 

By water, land, and sky. 
Ye bring me all unknowing 

A brother's company. 
And so in my woodland rambles 

Life-linked with nature ever 

1 move my way through the sweet spring day 

Alone, but lonely never.

QUEEN OF THE SEASONS 



Rummer 

Come, princess, to the throning ! 

High rides the sun, the day is long, 

Carol the birds in joyous song. 

While busily hums the insect-throng, — 

Come, princess, to the throning ! 

Come, princess, to the throning ! 

Merrily the squirrels, zigzag, play 

At hide-and-seek through the woodland way 

Where perfumed airs make perfect day, — 

Come, princess, to the throning ! 

She is here, queen of our owning ! 

Willows lend her flowing hair, 

Roses, a blush beyond compare, 

While dew-drops crown with diamonds rare,- 
She is here, queen of our owning !

Etk tfje jFatrpIanii of Breams 



Deep in the wildwood musing 

I rest at the winsome hour 
When twiUght, sweet-confusing. 

Asserts its sorcerous power. 
On a mossy bank I lay me 

And list in dreamy thought 
While the forest murmurs sway me 

To fancies witching-wrought. 

And is it the wind through the grasses. 

Where the tulip-tree guards the vale. 
That in minuet melody passes 

On high to the flowers pale ? 
It comes in sweet cadences, haunting. 

As if 'neath the great tree's shade 
The gray plumed grasses were chanting 

As swains in serenade — 

Come tread with me the minuet 

And in the twilight's leisure 
Through woodland pathways sinuate 
Daintily trip the measure — 

Through woodland pathways sinuate 

All in the twilight's leisure 
Come tread with me the minuet 
Daintily to the measure] 



See through yon screen arboreous 

JVhere round the moon is rising 
Stream now a splendor gloriouSy 
Subtilely solemnizing — 

Stream now a splendor glorious 

Where round the moon is risings 
Through yonder screen arboreous 
Subtilely solemnizing I 

And is it the sough of the zephyr 

Through the tulip's tangled gloom 
That hints so of harmonies ever 

When rustles the satin bloom ? 
Sweet harmonies out from the bowers 

Where the opening blossoms throng 
As it were from the tree's fair flowers 

A maiden's answer song — 

Tes ; thralled by nightfall beautiful 

Where stars with moon enamour 
Make I surrender dutiful 

Captivate to the glamour — 
Make I surrender dutiful 

Where stars with moon enamour 
Thralled by a nightfall beautiful. 
Captivate to the glamour. 



So 'neath fair Luna's benison 

See now with fluttering sally 
Flock fast each flower-denizen 
Merrily to the rally — 

Flock fast each flower-denizen 

Forth now with fluttering sally 
(Safe 'neat h fair Lund s benison) 
Merrily to the rally I 

And is it but leaf-shadows glancing 

Where moonbeams thwart the tree. 
Yon semblance of figures a-dancing 

In stately step o'er the lea — 
Quaint figures with dignity laden, 

Like dancers of long ago 
When courtesied the mincing maiden 

To the swain's obeisance low ? 

So tread we now the minuet 

And in the twilight's leisure 
'Through woodland pathways sinuate 
Daintily trip the measure — 

Through woodland pathways sinuate 

All in the twilight's leisure 
So tread we now the minuet 
Daintily to the measure ! 



Ah nay, let me cherish the fancy 

That sees in the shapes that pass 
Those children of night's necromancy, 

Flower-fairies and elves of the grass ! 
For aye by the magic of summer 

The moonlit wildwood seems 
Alive with enchantment's glamour. 

Like the fairyland of dreams !

Gray and lilac and blue, 

Indigo, ashy and brown 
The storm-clouds brood o'er the southern sea 

As a crimson sun goes down. 
The ocean, underneath. 

Gives back a lurid sheen 
As the surges, blanched by a sickening awe. 

Roll olive and yellow and green. 

Aghast, the breezes hush 

And stealthily slinks the tide. 
And the very crabs i' the ebbing wave 

Down-quivering cower and hide. 
Naught moves by sea and sky 

Save the billows' bated roll. 
Naught sounds but the ripples' smothered sigh 

And a distant thunder-toll. 

The heavy air is thick 

With the taint of the lightning's breath. 
And a shuddering silence cringing waits 

The leap of the jagged death. 
O hurricane, come in thy might ! 

Roll, thunder, and torrent, pour ! 
For the hush that heralds the storm-king's rage 

Out-horrors the tempest's roar !

Mp t\)t i^oott's Commanij 



I wandered wide by ocean's shore. 
The tide was falling, falling ; 
My heart was chill with sorrow's ill, 
The sad sea-birds were calling ; 

ud?2d the waters went wailing down the strand— 
And the waters went wailing down the strand. 
By the moon's command 
O'er the shining sand 
The waters went wailing down the strand. 

I stood by the verge of the level floor, 

The tide was turning, turning, 
A sparkle new on the glad sea grew. 
My wakened soul was yearning ; 

And the ripples came romping up the strand — 
And the ripples came romping up the strand ., 
By the moons command 
O'er the shining sand 
The ripples came romping up the strand. 



They chased me back to the rolHng dunes. 

The tide was rising, rising, 
In hope's high grace I turned my face 
To meet the spray's baptizing ; 

And the combers came curling up the strand- 
And the combers came curling up the strand^ 
By the moon' s command 
O'er the shining sand 
The combers came curling up the strand. 

I gazed in thrall at the wave-platoons, 

The tide was flooding, flooding ; 
A victory-roar filled all the shore. 

White banner-clouds went scudding ; 

And the billows came booming up the strand- 
And the billows came booming up the strandy 
By the moon' s command 
O'er the shining sand 
The billows came booming up the strand. 



I wandered wide by ocean's shore, 

My heart was flooding, flooding ; 
With rushing tide swept manhood's pride 

O'er the ebb of coward brooding. 

And the surges came sounding up the strand — 
And the surges ca?ne sounding up the strand^ 

By the moon' s command 

O'er the shining sand 
'The surges came sounding up the strand. 



autumn 



EVENING OF THE YEAR 



autumn 

Maples in crimson and tulips in yellow : 
Great oaks in russet and green gold mellow : 
Birches, white shining their lace-veils through, 
And high over all the deep distance in blue. 

Over the hillside, down in the dell 

Where sleeps the still pool 'neath the waterfall's spell. 

With bonnets broad waving a serried sheen 

Hosts of the lotus in silver and green. 

And winter-loosed, where through the fluttering trees 
Passes the kiss of the frost-lipped breeze, 
Children to mother's breast safe cuddled down. 
Soft on earth's bosom her leaf-brood brown. 

Nature, thus ever when eye follows day 
Thou deck'st thyself gayest, as maidens may. 
Then maiden-like under a mantle of white 
Lay'st thee to rest with a pleasant good-night !

The golden-rod blooms when the summer is mellow. 

Heigh-ho, the shortening day ! 
In trappings of green with pompons of yellow 

Comes the plumed array. 
in camp by the meadow, on guard by the roadway. 

Marshaled by lane and by lea, 
Lined in parade where straight runs the broadway, 
Lo, the tall rangers, free ! 

And the golden-rod blooms when the summer is mellow, 

Heigh-ho, the shortening day ! 
In trappings of green with pompons of yellow 
Comes the plumed array. 



What do they here in this hour of our sorrow. 

Uniformed all so gay ? 
Summer is waning — dies on the morrow. 

Morrow, September's day. 
What do they here ? Why, 'tis Nature's intending, 

When passes summer's bier. 
That crowned as with sunshine from bright sky descending 
Ever the escort appear. 

So the golden-rod blooms when the summer is mellow. 

Heigh-ho, the shortening day ! 
In trappings of green with pompons of yellow 
Comes the plumed array. 



The golden-rod blooms, and a peace that is tender 

(Heigh-ho, life's autumn-tide ! ) 
Comes to my heart with the hallowing splendor 

Flooding from meadows wide. 
Let Azriel beck, but a glory supernal 

Falls where his angels wait : 
Fear not to go where by order eternal 
Beautiful shines the gate ! 

And the golden-rod blooms when the summer is mellow 

Heigh-ho, the shortening day ! 
In trappings of green with pompons of yellow 
Comes the plumed array.

an #ati-lteaf in (October 

An oak-leaf in October : 
Dark russet now where erst was green. 
But, traced in gold, each rib and vein 

Distinct on background sober. 

Life's story, oft and olden ! 
Upon a withered record-leaf 
A writ of faith through woe and grief 

Ashine in letters golden.

flM is t|)e (Bhixp of tije ^ines 

i 

Now is the glory of the pines ! 

Through summer's green and autumn's gold 
Scorned in their sombre garb of old, 
Bide they their time by glade and wold — 

Now is the glory of the pines ! 

Now is the glory of the pines ! 

November skies are chill and gray : 
Moaning, the oaks and maples gay 
Yield to the north-wind's withering sway — 

Now is the glory of the pines ! 

Now is the glory of the pines ! 

For now, full-robed where woods are bare, 
A majesty unchallenged there 
The constant evergreens declare — 

Now is the glory of the pines ! 




SLEEP OF THE EARTH-MOTHER 



Winter 



Winter is here. The golden-threaded veils 
That erstwhile rustled on the woodland slopes 
Are rent and gone. By touch of frost transformed, 
No more, then, blush the trees as maidens coy. 
But now in armor, rugged, gaunt and grim 
As yeomen frown. With warning arms upflung 
So guard they, jealous, that hushed couch of white 
Where through long days, till Spring brings travail new, 
Sleeps the Earth-Mother, ward of children true.

WW is Wvit in €mber-(!lloto 

I 

'Tis when December's eve is drear. 
And wild, without, o'er wold and mere 
The winter storm in full career 

Sweeps, dire, 

And cutting blasts shrill-piping blow, 
And madly whirls the driving snow 
By gable, eave and casement low 

And spire. 
The while, within, a cozy scene 
Where curtained wall and broidered screen 
Glow warm beneath the ruddy sheen 

Of fire. 
And brazen dogs, oak-laden, groan. 
And chimneys, wind-encompassed, moan 
As flames, new-born on bed of stone. 

Leap higher. 
And sheltered snug from outer night 
Sit grouped about the cheery light 
The manor-folk, dame, children bright 

And sire, 
Sit nestled close the hearth beside 
And silent watch the roaring tide 
Uprushing through the chimney wide. 

Nor tire, 
— 'Tis then that aye, so legends tell. 
The elves that 'midst the embers dwell ' 
And rule unseen, with mystic spell. 

The fire, 



Delight, on brand and cinder-heap. 

To witch the sparks that twinkling creep. 

Till all their ways with cunning deep 

Conspire 
And blazon on each glowing glede 
A runic rime, which they may read 
Who hold their faith in fairy-creed 

Entire. 
Weird runes by elfin fingers wrought ! 
Weird rimes, that aye with wisdom fraught 
Aye to a happier, holier thought 

Inspire ! 
Then would'st thou, friend, when lamps be low. 
The lesson of the firelight know 
And what is writ in ember-glow 

Inquire, 

Be but of faith and fix thy gaze 

Where creep the sparks adown the blaze. 

And lo, these lines in living rays 

Of fire : —
